Daughter of the Burning City - Amanda Foody

I'm DONE. This gets me the Creepy Carnivals square and two more bingos, for a total of three bingos so far. Crossing my fingers that I can get one or two more.

 

I loathed this book. It's also one of the grosser YA romances I've read in a while. Foody tried to smooth it over with a conversation between Luca and Sorina near the end, but I still can't help but wonder if consent is really possible in this situation. Then there's the power imbalance issue. Also, my big question remains unanswered: if Sorina dies, what happens to her illusions? And another question: Do the illusions age?
